keeptype() and remtype()
Section titled “keeptype() and remtype()”keeptype(<list>, <types>[, <delimiter>[, <output separator>[, <form>]]])
remtype(<list>, <types>[, <delimiter>[, <output separator>[, <form>]]])
keeptype() returns the elements of <list> that name an object of one of <types>. remtype() returns the others.
<types> is a space-separated list of player, thing, room, exit and other, each of which can be shortened. other is an element that names no object you can find. With no type recognised, the list comes back unchanged.
The elements are separated by <delimiter>, a space by default, and the result by <output separator>, also a space by default. A <form> of 1 returns each object as a dbref, and 2 as an objid; otherwise the elements come back as written.
keeptype() and remtype() come from RhostMUSH.
